I caught a glimpse of a baby milk powder ad on the TV last night which linked a baby climbing to their future self climbing a mountain. If I see it again I'll try and remember the brand and find a clip, unless someone beats me to it.

The "call for climbing to be banned" was a single, off the cuff comment on the Wimmera Mail-Times facebook page by some random bogan. So the suggestion that there's been any serious call for a ban on climbing is just a massive, bullshit exaggeration by that paper.

In fact, given that said paper then went and sought comment from the SES on the matter, achieving nothing other than wasting the SES's time, I propose that the Wimmera Mail-Times be banned.

Yep. +1 from me, not that I bought that fire starter prior till now anyway..

Thanks kman for putting some common sense back into the Cassandra-perspective.

Perspective peeps.
2 climbing deaths now since 2006. What was the local roadtoll for that area in the same period. Not that either is a good thing, as they both have a social cost.

Yeh, an photo 3 0f 3 on the timeline link, looks to be another ripoff of onsight's pic.

Just watched this episode of Redesign My Brain on I-view.
The blindfolded climbing was a bit silly but some of the mental training was interesting.
Not sure how long this link will work for, ABC now charges for archived material.
